“ Thanks to Ryan, their smoked meat offerings are delicious, too! Ordered 50 wings, 2 lbs of brisket, and a pound of pulled pork for a gathering. The wings were large and all were done to perfection! Highly recommend! ”
“ The servers are attentive and accurate! Super friendly as well. Food is on point. The smoked corned beef is the best I have ever eaten, by far! Everything about the Reuben was exceptional... The, not one, but two Swiss cheese slices, 1000 island dressing, and kraut were in perfect proportions to that heavenly meat! Moist...moist...moist!!! Nice, tasty, and thick swirled rye bread. The price is cheap. Ryan can smoke that meat like a master. It's a must visit, and I highly recommend it for great food and drinks at an affordable cost. ”
